Hi all, Freyja here. Just dipping my toe into the conversation. I came across this paper today and thought it may be of interest to you guys.

"Making Corporations Accountable".

One of the examples used is the campaign by the NGO INFACT against the Swiss TNC Nestlé. They demanded that the company stop marketing powdered milk formula in poor countries, because unclean water used with the powder led to high infant death of many infants. It's encouraging that this boycott of Nestlé products eventually resulted in the WHO establishing an International Code of Marketing for Breast Milk Substitutes and suggests that we at least have a chance of success.

They also cover the use of voluntary codes, and regulatory and legal approaches.

Hope it's of use.
